An Exhibit of Great Interest to Farmers- Toronto Sep‘. 7. One of the most inter- esting exhibits at the Exhibition grounds for the farmers is that in whit-h the prccess of manufacture ot binder twine is shown, that indispensable article in thtsa days of machinery on €v<ry welt equipped farm. Although the twireis so generally in use but comvarativcly little is known cf its methods of manufacture and the source of supply. In the east and cf the Machi- nery Hall is to be found alot of fine machinery, which s°eadily, hour after hour, manipulates the bales of raw material into binder twine. A Globe reporter strolling through the building entered into conversation with Mr. \V. B. Converse of the Consumers Cordage Company, Limited, the head office of which is in Montreal, who is in charge of the exhibit.

‘-You have a most in'eres ing exhibit

here. Mr. Converse." remarked the reporter. “Have you any objection to :tiling for the benefit of Globe readers some facts in connection with the equipment of your factory and the length of time you have beeen in the business?

‘-Oh" replied Mr. Converse, “our

fimily has been in this bu-iuess for three generations. We stirted in Mon- treal in 1525 and originally ovvncd the Montreal factory. About 1890 the Con- sumers Cordage Company was formed. Our firm have mills at Halifax, N. S., Montreal,.Duc.,:Port Hope and Brant- ford in Untario. and St John, N,-B. I may say that we have sutlicient plant to supply the entire demand in Canada. At the present time hinder twine is being made also a the Kingston and Toronto prisons, and then there it the Patrons, or Farmers, Company of Brantfort also manfacturing.” _

“How many hands do you |amploy P” “\Ve employ in our m lls, w hen ruu-

ning, about 1,500 hands,” was the re-

your raw material?" " was the next qeestion, which elicited some most in- teresting information as to the long dis- tances which it is brought.

“It comes from all parts of the world

but principally from the Philippine Is- lands. The best material is Manilla, a product of the Phtlippine Islands, which have beenso much talked about recently. This is the nizverial we use in the manufacture of binder twipe. Sisal hemp, which is for pior grades of twine, comes from Mexico, and there are also other species of sisal grown in the Islind of _Mauritius and down at Tampa, where the United S‘n'_es troops were encamped before they left for Cuba. \\'e also get hemp from Russia, called Russian hemp, Italian hemp from Italy, New Zealand hemp from New Zealand, and jute from India. These are the principal. libres used.”

"What kind of machinery is used in

the manufactuie of liictler twine? I suppose all the machines ii use are built upon the same principle and are about the same was the qfifsiiori which drew ti stui’e from Mr. Converse, who lfiughetl as he replied :-

“.\ly r’-exit' sir, there is a great differ-

ence in the inicliiuery used :tt d ffer- eiit mill-i. We have inzizhinery for which we claim u decided superiority over any other. lt is known as the English or Lawson system, which turns out better goods than can be turned out under any Aineiiczin system known to- day.”

‘ 'The gcods you see here are manufac-

tured in exactly the same manner as they are at the works for ordinary con- sumption. with this exception, that we are manufacturing here under a disad- vantage. We cannot show half the processes the material has to go through and have been co npelled to bring the ‘s-liver’ here in a prepared state. It has to go through a great many machines before it gets down to the s‘ate in which you now see it being fed to the machines.”

“What precautions do you take to se-

cure unformity in quality cf your goods P”

»~\\'e are very careful in ' preparing

and selecting the fibr 3, buying nothing but the best, and we have skilled em- ployees, who in a great many cases are paid by the piece, so that t_`1 i ' output is examined oefore they are paid for it.”

“How does the q iality of the goods

produced by your mill compare with the Ameiicin goods sometimes furnished to Canadian farmers P”

“During the last week we have had

over a thousand American farmers looking at our exhibit, and they have stated here that they tlnd our hinder twine fir supeiior to the American are ticlez they sav it is spun flner than the twine they get at home. 'Many of them* were anxious to place orders with us.”

“What method of distributing your

goods do you find most advantageous ?”

“We have. mills or agents scattered

all over Ontario and the Northwest, and we carry stock at all of them. We also

had gonei out of the binder ness. ‘ How did that impr. siion get abroad P ’ ,

“Our exhibit here has excited wide-

spread :ind general interest not only among farmers, but every one who has evinced grett interest in it. The im- pression that we had gone out of the manuficttire of binder twine arose from the _ fact that early, this se.'s:in we decided that on ac- count of the duty being taken off binder twine and al o because of its manufac ure in the prisons we would not make any more. But we received so many demands for our twine because our brands ate so well-known to the farmers ofthe Dominion that we were forced to start up our mills again and run them during the season. We sea now that the Canadian farmers have been educated up to the knowledge that I it p iys only to purchase the best gradis of twine. They have found the twine spun in the prisons is not only mariufac- tured from inierifr grades ot hcuip,but it is also iniziuiacturcd in a \e"y loose niaaner compiiett wlth the way wc do it. This arlses from the fit-t that the prisoners have no interest in their work :ind do not turn out the same quality of work as skilled operativcs. As to the American twine, there has b;eii a. great deal of it sent in h re, but it has never given the same satisfaction as the twine made on the English system.”

‘-Is it a. fact that the Americans make

a slaughter mtrket of Canada for :their twine 9”’ _

“You sec, the American season is ear-

‘tier than ours, and they ship their sur-

plus into this country. and they are only too glad to sell it often below cost to .get rid cf it. Although binder twine has
